Counsel said Delancey Nicoll, an executor, sent will copies to Mrs Shonts and her daughters and probate was stayed until the Duchess De Chaulnes returns from France. The will left Mrs Shonts 5000 and a portrait. the bulk of the several hundred thousand dollars went to Mrs Amanda Thomas, described as a friend of Mr Shonts. The executors disputed Shonts claims that 50000 worth of furniture was removed, saying the items belonged to Mrs Thomas and a June 10 bill of sale supports that.
